Can’t you see that your wage your salary or income is all the freedom that you have? Your freedom, your liberty doesn’t go a step further than your wage. The freedom that is given to you on paper, that is written down in law books and constitutions, does not do you a bit of good. Such freedom only means that you have the right to do a certain thing. But it doesn’t mean that you can do it.
To be able to do it, you must have the chance, the opportunity. You have a right to eat three fine meals a day, but if you haven’t the means, the opportunity to get those meals, then what good is that right to you?

Holy crap - I’ve taken an inemuri power nap or two… keeps you a productive little wage slave

“JAPAN OF old did not have a captive black population to use and abuse. So the Burakumin were created to fill that economic and social vacuum at the bottom of society. They are still there.”
…question being, in how many ways can a society (or certain acters) “create a class?”
enclosure policies in Britain created the modern working class. What happened before the state?
Tang Dynasty - Internationale
Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We’ll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.
Refrain:
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we’ll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They’ll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We’ll shoot the generals on our own side.
No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E’er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we’ll strike while the iron is hot.
起来 饥寒交迫的奴隶
起来 全世界受苦的人
满腔的热血已经沸腾 要为真理而斗争
旧世界打个落花流水 奴隶们起来 起来
不要说我们一无所有 我们要做天下的主人
这是最後的斗争团结起来到明天
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
这是最後的斗争团结起来到明天
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
从来就没有什麽救世主 也不靠神仙皇帝
要创造人类的幸福 全靠我们自己
我们要夺回劳动的果实 让思想冲破牢笼
快把那炉火烧得通红 趁热打铁才能成功
这是最後的斗争团结起来到明天
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
这是最後的斗争团结起来到明天
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
最可恨那些毒蛇猛兽吃尽了我们的血肉
一旦把他们消灭乾净鲜红的太阳照遍全球
这是最後的斗争团结起来到明天
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
这是最後的斗争团结起来到明天
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
英特纳雄耐尔就一定要实现
The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, the super-conservative African American Republican who has campaigned vigorously against Kwanzaa (“The Racist Holiday From Hell” he has called it), the Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr. and President Barack Obama, said he has a simple solution to black America’s employment woes: hard labor.
“One of the things that I would do is take all black people back to the South and put them on the plantation so they would understand the ethic of working,” Peterson told The Huffington Post’s Black Voices on Tuesday afternoon. “I’m going to put them all on the plantation. They need a good hard education on what it is to work.”

Ay dogg that label is that slave ship
Owners got them whips and rappers is slaves
If you really wanna eat you gotta hear the same thing
With the football, b-ball, or if you slangin that dope
Aint never seen no hope, brainwash video shows be foolin my folk
What the hell a brother gon do though, huh
When the rent due, when the lights and the gas gonna get cut off
Drop them raps or cock them gats
Aint never had shit ever since we came to this bitch
Why I gotta feel pain to get rich
‘stead of stackin chips, finna pack them clips
